To the hardcore gamers, like us, it is not a big surprise that the PlayStation 3 would only be sold to the dedicated. Those that are willing to sit out on a rainy cold November night for a PS3 to drop in their greedy hands.
Of course, a hardcore gamer is really being defined as those that want a PS3 so bad it hurts -or- those that want to pin it on eBay by noon the next day.
For us New Englanders, this might be what we're in for. Forecast says we're going to have a large cloud of rain (hell?) pouring down on us all week.
Amazingly, a day later in the US there will be many out-of-touch parents heading to the store to pickup a PS3 their kids have been screaming for to find a dusty empty shelf. No luck for the PlayStation Casual Gamer this holiday.
